Comments on: Newspaper Porn http://deviousdiva.com/2007/05/08/newspaper-porn/ The only thing necessary for the persistence of evil is for enough good people to do nothing. Sun, 12 Oct 2008 07:22:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: jinger http://deviousdiva.com/2007/05/08/newspaper-porn/#comment-22344 jinger Wed, 09 May 2007 17:17:34 +0000 http://deviousdiva.com/2007/05/08/newspaper-porn/#comment-22344 There are two channels that keep looping ads for "call me now" lines which have girls stripping etc. These channels have no names as far as I could tell. I imagine they are pirate channels. Scan for them. They are 24/7. I erased them from my list of channels as porn has more POV than any other type of content. I am pretty sure the VOULI channel did have chunks of "call me now" sex ads running for long time slices late at night. However, I am willing to accept I am wrong but keep an eye out. I won't take their TV guide as a proof of anything. They probably consider sex ads commercials like all others and if they show them at the right time slot they technically don't have to answer to anyone. Ads are not part of any channel's program guide. Note how their program guide does not say "end of programme". Unfortunately for this thread but fortunately for me, I moved out of Athens on Saturday so I won't be able to confirm all of the above as I can no longer get good reception. I am surrounded by trees!

It is one of the safest channels out there and has some very good programming. Other private channels DO run sex talk/chat ads (whatever they are called) very late at night and the very occasional soft porn movie (Alter) I assume the 24/7 porn channels are on satellite?

It doesn't. It was an awkward sentence. What I meant to say was that when the kid goes to buy his James Bond film on Sundays, he sees the porn being sold on other "newspapers". Apologies for the mistake.

Still, Greeks are complaining about T.V. news (and justifiably so), but it doesn't seem like they care much about newspapers either. I don't really get the whole "porn with your Sunday paper" thing, it is sort of on par with the idea of having breakfast at a strip club. Its all a little creepy. Still, I'm not anti-porn. I just don't see why it has to accompany a newspaper.

As far as I'm aware, you get the 'late night' adult movies on Filmnet 1 & 3 as well as the occaisional 'soft' movie shown on other channels (again late at night). Satellite TV is a different matter (if that is what you meant), of course the advent of satelite allows you to pick up stations from anywhere but again, if you bring satellite TV into your house, it's also your responsibility to activate the parental controls to block unsuitable programming. As for the newspapers, I'd like to point out that it's not the norm for soft core porn DVD's to be bundled inside them. It's certain publications that do this and I think that if Ethnos needs to give away soft core porn to make people buy their publication then it says a lot for the standard of news in their newspaper. I know the newspapers I read have never had to entice me with such crap.

It does not have sex adds and porn shows late at night. It is not a 24 hour channel, if you tune in late at night, all you see is a list of the programs showing the following day. If you are interested in what is showing on VOULI then feel free to follow this link: http://www.parliament.gr/videoaudio/file.asp

Porn material, especially DVDs, had been bundled with newspapers for quite a few years now. Even the parliament house TV channel has sex line adds and porn shows late at night. As if we don't already have at least 2 channels playing porn 24/7. At least you simply wipe those out of you channel list, but the parliament house channel? People will think it is our politicians starring.

In addition, it's my belief that these media outlets are likely infringing on film and/or distribution rights of some kind. I'm glad that kiosks were raided and various people will be prosecuted, though we'll see if the latter sticks with all the payoffs and corruption.
